ANNOUNCEMENT
Resource for Finding Underground Lines Not Marked by 811
Planning a project that requires digging? Not all underground lines are marked through 811. Privately owned utilities, irrigation systems, and lines running to detached buildings may require a private locator.
Gopher State One Call’s Private Locator Directory helps you find private locating companies that serve Minnesota communities. Bookmark this resource before your next digging project!

DID YOU KNOW?
In 1913, Adolph Naumann built a cabin on White Bear Lake in Birchwood, finishing just in time for his wedding to Margaret Conradi. While he built a window seat, Margaret painted the pantry. Despite the St. Paul Dispatch featuring their cottage, Adolph admitted that the “publicity fussed him”.
